PhD position in Theoretical Chemical Physics at Fysikum, Stockholm University, Sweden
Stockholm University seeks to recruit a candidate for a PhD position working on new approaches for spectrum simulations with state-of-the-art quantum chemistry. The work will focus on the development of ab initio calculations of x-ray spectra for the study of the electronic structure and photo-induced processes. You will work both with existing software and develop code. The training is focused on theoretical studies, but the project is based on a close collaboration with leading experimental groups, developing , in particular time-resolved, X-ray spectroscopy.
You will be supervised by Michael Odelius at the division of Chemical Physics. The research interests in the Molecular Dynamics Quantum Chemistry group range from accurate quantum mechanical studies of small molecules to realistic simulations of eletrolyte solutions and photovoltaic materials. New approaches for spectrum simulations are developed with state-of-the-art quantum chemistry, and in particlar dynamical effects on chemical and electronic processes are investigated.
